The Garage will be demolished and built elsewhere in the car park, which is being extended. There will be an onslip from the dual carriageway so drivers can get into the shop without clogging up the knocknagoney rd. Im not sure if they will be extending the store itself that much, as they will probably just build a small 2nd floor (like tesco belvoir). Even if it does temporarily close down it'll not be anything as long as 6 months, tesco couldnt afford to lose that much salesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-36289768055618898132008-08-18T23:16:00.000+01:002008-08-18T23:16:00.000+01:00Tesco are changing their store to a Tesco Extra, w...Tesco are changing their store to a Tesco Extra, which has a much larger hardware range, including white goods. They had considered extending the store but that wasn't viable and are now demolishing and then rebuilding the store. It may be closed for up to six months.<BR/>Regards,<BR/>ColinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-78394784186790235142008-08-17T23:35:00.000+01:002008-08-17T23:35:00.000+01:00Tesco is extending the car-park; then extending th...Tesco is extending the car-park; then extending the store, as if it weren't big enough :-)<BR/><BR/>TimTimothy Belmonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111145260662707575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-85259885129516217382008-08-17T20:29:00.000+01:002008-08-17T20:29:00.000+01:00Interesting!

I hadn't heard of Harvey Norman before but I'm sure he'll get a warm welcome - credit crunch or not. <BR/>Do you know what Tescos are up to at Knocknagoney??Stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894122454638005435noreply@blogger.com
